How does the ignition interlock work? How much does it cost?
The driver must periodically blow into the interlock machine, which is installed in his/her vehicle. If any alcohol is detected on the driver’s breath, the interlock machine will not allow the car to start. The defendant must pay the installation and daily fees. If the interlock system is ordered, the defendant will receive specific information about it in Court. After that, the defendant will need to arrange an appointment through the Probation Department for his/her driving privileges.
